In this study, CuS micro-flake with average sizes of about 5–10 μm grows on 3D copper foam was synthesized by solvothermal method. This material was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Besides, this CuS material was used to degrade methylene blue (MB) dye, water as catalyst and the effect of reaction temperature was also discussed.
